COOKIE POLICY
In order to ensure the proper functioning of this website, we place small data files, known as cookies, on your computer.
All websites do this. Without them a site cannot function.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
An “Internet cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or “cookie“) is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device or other equipment through which the internet is accessed.
Cookies are set by a request from a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifetime and remain “passive” in the sense that they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they are installed.
A cookie consists of two parts:
- the name of the cookie; and
- the content or value of the cookie
Technically, only the web-server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the web page associated with that web-server.
FOR WHAT PURPOSES ARE COOKIES USED THROUGH THIS WEBSITE?
Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual user, namely to:
improve the usability of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur during users’ visit/use of this website;
providing anonymous statistics on how this website is used to Depo b2b SRL, as owner of this website;
anticipating possible future goods that will be made available to users through this website, depending on the services/products accessed.
On the basis of the feedback sent by cookies on how this website is used, Depo b2b SRL may take measures to make this website more efficient and accessible to users.
Thus, the use of cookies allows the storage of certain settings/preferences set by the users of this website, such as:

the currency in which certain prices or tariffs are expressed;
facilitating access to users’ accounts;
posting comments on the site.
WHAT IS THE LIFETIME OF COOKIES?
The lifespan of cookies can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. There are the following categories of cookies which also determine their lifetime:
- Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
- Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed” cookie is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s terminal until it reaches a certain expiry date (which may be minutes, days or years in the future) or until the user deletes it at any time via the browser settings.
WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION IS STORED AND ACCESSED THROUGH COOKIES?
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows browser recognition. This website recognises the browser until the cookies expire or are deleted.
CUSTOMISE YOUR BROWSER SETTINGS FOR COOKIES
If the use of cookies is not intrusive and the computer or technical equipment used to browse this website is used only by you, long expiry periods can be set for storing your browsing history.
If the computer or technical equipment used for browsing this website is used by more than one person, you may consider setting it to delete individual browsing data each time the browser is closed.
HOW CAN COOKIES BE TURNED OFF?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make this website difficult to visit and may limit your ability to use it.
Users can configure their browser to reject cookies or to accept cookies from a specific website.
All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings can usually be accessed in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser.
However, refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – only that it will not be tailored to your preferences and interests as evidenced by your browsing behaviour.
